ROPENI, why compare the two now? is this really the place and time for that? I think I'd fall over if you ever write anything completely positive about the Stones. Oy vey.
I loved it, hope they add it to the regular set list.
Hey Late,why not now? l mean is being played for the first time in what? 30 years,and its jus a comparison,of the two versions according to my taste,and btw l met J.W,many years ago,and talking about that song he said it was written for him by Mick and Keith,so its valid,and please don't fall over anything,l don't want you to get hurt,and indeed l also hope they keep it in the set,but probably won't,YGR seems to be more to Jagger's taste,but hey what do l know.....

Wow! That was a fantastic piece of live music that "Silver Train"! Playing 'out of box' works these guys when they are willing to take the risk. All behind all those routines and manners, they are damn fine rock and roll band, when they really put their hearts on music.
The song fits very well - as a mid tempo blues rocker (almost a western rock?), having lots of space for the guitars and the groove - to their hands these days. Melodically - and lyrically - the verses are so naive that it is difficult to any singer, but Jagger manages good enough, but it is the melodic chorus where he finds the point in the song, and is able to use his interpretative skills. And since there is no routine, he sounds rather experimental and fresh. The guitar department is such a joy to listen. Lots of room for each of them. Simply the best 'three guitar attack' so far! Also Taylor is best integrated to the team so far. Now he really sound like a part of the band, not just a "special guest" offering extended and isolated solos. For example, that little and damn fitting solo of his is just awesome.
Greatest moment musically to my mind in this leg of the tour so far. What a groove! I hope there is more to come.

Anybody still stating that a three guitar approach is musically beyond their reach? There was a will now and this first time ("try out" ) was exciting imo.

Okay ROPENI, you made me laugh so all is forgiven. Sorry for my rant, been working too much in front of the computer and drinking too much coffee. If anything makes me fall over it's going to be that.
You are right, no reason not to compare the two..and do I detect from your desire to keep it in the set that you maybe liked it?

I always wanted to like "Silver Train" more than I did based on the studio recording...
Sounds great onstage. As with "It's Only Rock 'n Roll," it really comes alive in front of an audience.

The guitar players, with their two slides-setup, could have done a lot of good stuff with this one, but they're not there yet, imo.
Only one solution: To try it again.
But Mick, seriously, the "money/honey"-rhythms - it's not rocket science...

I suspect that Mick won't sing ST again. He sounds completely unrehearsed.
That's very surprising...
We hear the potential, but only fragments of the melody.

Yet the guitars are sounding exciting, though not perfect. But the song LIVES and grooves, very different from the stalemate template they use for the well known hitsongs.
As for Jagger, he's trying some nice things, but it's astonishing that he's missing the rhythm so badly during the money/honey words. He's rushing instead of letting it roll. Strange indeed.
But no defeatist remarks please. Let them give it at least one more chance, or better include it in their setlist.

I hope they try it again, and I hope Mick has ST on repeat on his iPod. Keith, Ronnie and Taylor as well...

I cannot believe what´s going on here:
COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SETLIST.
THEN: ST IS LIVE ON STAGE.
BUT: THE COMPLAINERS HAVE A NEW PROBLEM - ST WAS´NT PLAYED LIKE THEY EXPECTED IT.
WHAT´S NEXT?
YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.
YOU WILL NEVER STOP.
BUT ALL YOU ARE IS A SMAL MINORITY IN OUR BIG COMMUNITY WHICH KNOWS WHAT EVERY
SECOND STONES LIVE IS WORTH TODAY.
PERFECT OR HALF PERFECT.
